Isaiah 62:10 NIV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Isaiah 62:10-12

This, as many like passages before, refers to the deliverance of the Jews out of Babylon, and, under the type and figure of that, to the great redemption wrought out by Jesus Christ, and the proclaiming of gospel grace and liberty through him. 1. Way shall be made for this salvation; all difficulties shall be removed, and whatever might obstruct it shall be taken out of the way, Isa. 62:10. The gates of Babylon shall be thrown open, that they may with freedom go through them; the way from... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 62:10

Go through, go through the gates ,.... Open them, and keep them open for persons to enter in; meaning not the gates of Jerusalem, which those in it should open for the reception of the Jews returning from Babylon, though there may be an allusion to it; but the gates of the church in the latter day, which shall stand open night and day, that converts, who shall flock unto it, may enter in thereat, whether Jews or Gentiles; see Isaiah 26:1 , prepare you the way of the people; cast up,... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 62:10

Of the people "For the people" - Before the word העם haam , the people, two MSS. insert יהוה Yehovah ; one MS. adds the same word after; and eight MSS., three ancient, instead of העם haam , have יהוה Yehovah , and so likewise one edition. But though it makes a good sense either way, I believe it to be an interpolation, as the ancient Versions do not favor it. The Septuagint indeed read עמי ammi , my people. - L. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 62:1-12

FURTHER GRACIOUS PROMISES MADE TO ISRAEL BY " THE SERVANT ." Some regard the speaker in this chapter as Jehovah; some as the prophet, or the prophetical order; some as "the Servant." The last supposition appears to us the simplest and the best. The close connection with the preceding chapter is evident. If that then be, in the main, "a soliloquy of the Servant," this should he a continuation of the soliloquy. Israel is promised "righteousness," "glory," "a new name," a... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 62:2-12

The teaching of Scripture with respect to names. Names are not spoken of in the Scriptures as unimportant, but as of a very high importance. I. A SPECIAL VALUE IS SET ON THE NAMES OF GOD . The names of God are significant, and set forth his nature. "El" is "the Great;" "Shaddai," "the Strong;" "Jehovah," "the Alone-existent." God selected this last name as that by which he would be especially known to the Jews ( Exodus 3:14 ), and it became a sort of proper name with... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 62:10

Go through, go through the gates . The speaker returns to the period of the exile, and exhorts the people to pass forth from Babylon, and speed on their way homewards (comp. Isaiah 48:20 ; Isaiah 52:11 ). Some of them are to clear away obstacles, others are to bring materials and construct a highway along which the stream of emigrants may march (comp. Isaiah 57:14 ), while a third body removes such stones as might cause stumbling, and a fourth lifts up a standard to direct the march. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 62:10

The mission of those who remove hindrances. The point of interest here is that, so far as Jehovah was concerned, all things were arranged for the return of the exiles, and the restoration of the long-depressed nation. But some men were hindering the return by their hesitancies and doubtings and selfishnesses. Therefore Jehovah pleads with all who trust his Word, urging them to clear the way of the people, and get these hindrances moved out of their path. There are always hinderers to every... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 62:10-12

The homeward call. "The prophet returns to the exiles in Babylon, and urges them not to delay their homeward march." It is the same call which resounded in the two former divisions of the prophecy ( Isaiah 48:20 ; Isaiah 52:11 ). I. THE WAY CLEARED . The gates of Babylon are to be thrown open. Invisible servants of Jehovah are to prepare the way ( Isaiah 40:3 ; Isaiah 57:14 ). A great highway (as in Isaiah 11:16 ) is seen stretching homeward, from which the party of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 62:10-12

God's summons to the enslaved. Taking the language of the tenth verse as an energetic address to the captive people of God to "go through" the gates of Babylon, and make their way with all diligence to Zion, the home of freedom and sacred joy, we have— I. A DIVINE SUMMONS TO THE ENSLAVED . To the individual soul , that has been brought into some spiritual bondage, perhaps under the tyranny of some enslaving habit; to the Christian Church , which has allowed itself to... read more

Albert Barnes

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 62:10

Go through, go through the gates - The connection of this with what goes before is not very apparent, and there has been a great diversity of opinion in regard to it among interpreters. Grotius supposes that it refers to the priests and Levites who are referred to also in the previous verses, and that it is a command for them to enter into the temple. Calvin supposes that it refers to the Christian church, and that the idea is, that the gates of it should be continually open for the return of... read more
